Frequently Asked Questions
Understanding Your Healthcare Insurance Costs
At DrLullaby, transparency is our priority—we want you to feel confident about your healthcare costs. However, insurance payments can be complex and unpredictable, meaning exact pricing isn’t always possible until a claim is processed.
Cost Estimates vs. Final Charges
When you enter your insurance information in our online scheduler, you’ll see a cost estimate based on available insurance data through our third-party partner, Sohar. This estimate oEers a general idea of pricing, but it is not a final bill. Actual costs may vary due to:
Insurance coverage – Plans diEer in deductibles, copays, and coverage limitations.
Changes in care – Additional tests or treatments may impact your total cost.
Insurance processing – Final reimbursement is handled by your insurance provider.
Your Financial Responsibility
Regardless of estimates, patients are responsible for out-of-pocket costs determined by their
insurance, such as:
✔ Deductibles ✔ Copays ✔ Coinsurance ✔ Non-covered services
We encourage patients to check with their insurance provider before their visit for a clearer understanding of potential costs.
Why Exact Pricing Isn’t Possible
We understand the desire for precise pricing upfront. However, insurance payments rely on multiple factors beyond our control, making exact costs impossible to guarantee before billing. While we aim to provide the most accurate estimate possible, only your insurance provider can confirm the final amount owed

Cognitive Behavioral Treatment for Insomnia (CBT-I) is recommended as the gold standard by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, and American College of Physicians. The AASM and ACP recommend first trying CBT-I before trying a sleep medication (don't worry, we can help you taper off your sleeping pill too).The CBT-I treatment includes 5-8 behavioral treatment sessions where you learn research-backed strategies for optimizing control over thoughts, behaviors and emotions to get the sleep you need. Data shows 70-80% of insomnia patients get results from this protocol. You will be keeping sleep logs in our digital platform, while attending telehealth sessions with leading clinical experts in the field.
Don't forget, you can cancel anytime, and try it risk free.
That said, consider why we offer you tech-enabled insomnia treatment…
Our founder, Dr. Medalie, learned from her patients about the inefficiencies of doing digital health without telehealth, or telehealth without digital health…
Digital Health Without Telehealth: Her patients have told her that when they tried digital health tools (e.g., self-guided apps) without the support of a live doctor, they felt they did not receive customization to their unique situation. Aspects of their medical history, mood profile, family situation, medication list, etc were not factored into their plan, and this inhibited their progress.
Telehealth without Digital Health: Dr. Medalie also noticed when she saw patients for telehealth visits with nothing to use between sessions, this also was problematic. Her patients seemed very motivated and excited to make change when they were in the telehealth session, but in between sessions they lost motivation! Life happened, they forgot or they got directed elsewhere. The digital health tools in between telehealth sessions keeps patients engaged in the sleep plan and this supports adherence and reduces insomnia.
DrLullaby is on the cutting edge with the unique and innovative approach, offering the marriage between digital health and telehealth.
